 PARIS (AP) - French President Jacques Chirac inducted American actor-director Clint Eastwood into the Legion of Honor on Saturday, saying he represents "the best of Hollywood." The Oscar-winning director was named a knight in France's elite Legion of Honor.
"France of course wants to pay homage to your immense talent as an actor, your genius as a director and to your place in the world of cinema," Chirac said in a ceremony in the presidential Elysee Palace.
"You show the complexity of America, in all its grandeur and fragility, with its enthusiastic dreams and its worried questioning," he said.
